Breathe better

Feeling tired, anxious, or on edge? Allowing yourself a few minutes of yogic breathing can bring you into a more emotionally-balanced and energised state to feel fully rejuvenated.

‘Prana’ can be described as the finest vital force of energy, which is separate from the breath; it is the relationship between the prana and the breath. This stronger connection and control of your breath will give you a deeper consciousness of your physical, mental and emotional bodies and therefore can help anchor one’s awareness more in the present. Yogis believe that if you can master your breath through pranayama, you can master your mind!

So, what is pranayama? Pranayama is a collection of breathing exercises practiced by yogis that stem from the ancient texts. These breathing exercises can help us to improve concentration, bring clarity to the mind and ultimately provide the mental strength to deal with life’s adversities and feel happier.
